About this sound

“It's a Bomb-Bomb!”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in May 2025

This is a mortar fuse getting lit, then the launch and the boom, about 15 seconds in all. The fuse hisses and crackles first, there's some quiet in between, and then a loud thump when the shell goes off. Works for fireworks or any big boom with a build-up.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's done by 12.3 s. The last 2.52 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.8 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 2 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −12.6 LUFS, about 6 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
